Python MongoDB Sort
Sort the Result
Use the sort() method to sort the result in
ascending or descending order.
The sort() method takes one parameter for
"fieldname" and one parameter for "direction" (ascending is the default
direction).
Example
Sort the result alphabetically by name:
import pymongo
myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]
mydoc = mycol.find().sort("name")
for x in mydoc:
print(x)
Run example »
Sort Descending
Use the value -1 as the second parameter to sort descending.
sort("name", 1) #ascending
sort("name", -1) #descending
Example
Sort the result reverse alphabetically by name:
import pymongo
myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
mycol = mydb["customers"]
mydoc = mycol.find().sort("name", -1)
for x in mydoc:
print(x)
